Not to Be Trusted.

An old New York dry goods auction merchant, who resided in Jersey, crossed Cortlandt street ferry morning and night. One morning as he was coming over he noticed that one of the best customers of his house slipped through without paying. On his arrival at the store he told his auctioneer not to receive bid from such a man. The latter observed: "Why, I thought he was goodr' ''So did I, but have changed my mind; will not trust him dollar. .'' Not long after the mer- chant failed and did not pay five cents on the dollar.-Dry Goods Chronicle.

 This rule of obliging the condemned tol listen during the two nights preceding his execution to an interminable series of prayers, requiems, De Profundis chants, uttered for the repose of his soul by his fellow criminals, seems to me something atrocious; and 1 can see in it the last vestige of the ferocious medieval mysti- cism of Spain, with all its unconscious cruelty. As I stood on an elevation over looking the scaffold, was able to observe all the details of the last scene of the tragedy. The condemned man mechan- icaxy yielded himself up to the executioner. The latter sat down at the foot of the post, with his back to it and then tied his hands and feet hard and fast. He did all this without hurrying himself in the least, and with all the dignified indifference which characterizes the Spanish function ar.y in the discharge of his duty. If the preparations had lasted even a few seconds longer I believe I should have lost my own self control. I could hear my heart humping in my breast, and every mo ment or two something like veil came before my eyes.
 THE IRON COLLAR.
 You could not even hear a whisper in the crowd. While one of the priests pressed cruciflx to the colorless lips of the sufferer, another was murmuring words of consolation and hope into his ear But the wretched man was not listening His expressionless face had a waxen pallor, and his eyes, as they wan | dered over the ocean of faces before him, | already seemed dim with the dullness of | death.
 He started considerably when the exc cutioner placed the iron collar about his neck, and I observed his mouth contract. Then, however, a white covering thrown over his features hid them from further | observation. The executioner then gave two or three turns of the screws connect ed with the instrument of death. The bones of the neck cracked, Q long trem- bling ran through the whole body, the arms twisted outward the legs inward Alvarez Oliva was dead.
 The priests took off their square caps, as | if to salute the soul passing by, and the hexecutioner concealed the covering that fconcealed the dead mans face. That face which had been so pallid moment before was now purple. The tumified tongue protruded from the mouth and the bloody eyes had spurted out of their sockets. Int head had fallen slightly toward the righ shoulder, and the black miter, with whit, cross, that had been placed upon it, seemed about to tall off.
 The crowd ebbed away silently, evi dently much affected, while two gen darmes with rifles mounted guard at tn foot of the scaffold, where the corpse wa to remain until evening, when the corpo ration of female mourners would escort i to the cemetery of executed criminals with long, piercing cries of lamentation like the Yu! yul yu! of Arab women.- New York Star.

DEATH ON THE GARROTE.
A DREADFUL PICTURE OF CAPITAL
 PUNISHMENT IN SPAIN.

How Holiday Is Celebrated in the
 Land of the Olive-The Trepidation
 with Which Criminal Met His
 Doom.
 Suddenly the crowd halts and great silence falls. A close carriage, with blinds down, escorted by picket of civil guards, slowly passes through the press. We can follow it without hurrying our selves.
 In little while the place of execution appears before me, thronged with a null titude swaying like a tide, and up from the sea of heads emerges the white mast of the scaffold.
 approach.
 Lying upon stool, covered with snow white cloth, is the garrote itself-shim- mering like Q crown of steel. In little while the executioner will attach it to post against which the criminal is to be fastened. The final preparations con stunned considerable time, so that I was well able to make 0 leisurely examination of the sinister locality whither curiosity had drawn me for the purpose of studying the physiognomy of the great pushing or squeezing crowd. As always, and in all places, the women were the most numer- ous.
 Now there is great movement around the scaffold. The soldiers close their ranks and three men approach the scaf- fold. One of them ascends it. It is the executioner. He is thin, low sized and looks about 40 years old. While waiting for his victim he keeps walking nervously to and fro with his hands behind his back and his head down. From time to time he stops and looks at the argolla (the ''garrote'' with a suspicious expression of countenance. Perhaps he is afraid of the power of resistance possessed by the eervical vertebrs of Alvarez, and is there fore afraid of losing his bounty.
 THE DISMAL sCAFFoLD.
 Noisy as it was a little while ago, the crowd now suddenly becomes silent. Some women are turning pale; and one can feel that a nervous excitement weighs upon the crowd. A low rumbling is heard. It is the black carriage that bears 1 the condemned man. It stops at the foot of the scaffold; and the criminal is SCOT | painfully climbing the twelve high steps | of the dismal scaffold, leaning on the arm of priest. Another priest precedes him lifting very high an immense crucif1x toward which the condemned man strive! | to turn his terror stricken face. Aware; Oliva is not yet 25 years old; and it wa believed that the savage energy he haC displayed in committing his crime, to gether with his vigorous youth, woult give him strength to face death. Blu nothing of the kind is now shown by him and really it was too much to expect of man who knew his fate forty-eight hour ago, and who, while listening to the flu neral chants in the prison chapel, mus

WOMEN IN RUSSIA.
A Picture of Russian Home Life in the
 Time or Ivan the Terrible.


 Time of Ivan the Terrible. In MT. Nathan Haskell Dole's recent lecture on the ssRise of Russian Liter ature," he spoke of the "Domostroi, or Book of Domestic Management writ ten by the Pope Sylvester for the edifi- cation of his only son, Anphim and his daughter-in-law Pelagia.
 It was composed early in the six teenth century, during the reign of Ivan the Terrible, and throws a curious light on Russian society at that time.
 For many years it was the universal UGde n1ectGDl of household duties. It may interest some of the women of Philadelphia who did not hear MT. Dole's lecture to see what the old priest laid down as law for the treatment and behavior of their sisters three centuries and n half ago Mir Dole translation was as follows:
 She must go to church as often as possible and consult with her husband. Husbands must teach their wives with love and reasonable punishment. If the wife live not according to her hus- bands teaching then the husband must punish her alone by themselves, and after he has punished her he must for give her and give further advice; but they must not be angry with one an- other.
 Servants and children must be pun ished according to their guilt, and wounds must be inflicted, but after the punishment forgive the sin. But the mistress of the house must look after the servants as to what is fitting for the same. But when it is necessary to rep rehend your wife, your son or your daughter, or to punish them by laying on the whip, punish them not before people, but alone. Strike them not on the ear or in the face or on the head with the fist, nor kick them or strike them with the staff, either of iron or oi wood. But if the sin be great, then, stripping off the garment, apply little whip discreetly, holding the hands Wives must ask their husbands abou all holy teaching, and be subject tt them in all things.
 Every day the husband and wifi should question each other and takt counsel about the whole conduct of the house. She must have acquaintance only with those whom her husband commands. She may converse witt guests about her handiworz and abou household management, and listen whel she sees that it is good, What she doe not know she may ask modestly. What ever any one commands she must ''bea the forehead humbly, and when sh goes forth from the house she must tel

A Prisoner Outrageousiy Treated by the

The question has been repeatedly asked
within the past week why DR.. Clark was

so soon after his sentence, when his attor

remove his cause into the Supreme court
of this state.

sentence was pronounced Mrs. Clark was

children were crying for their father, but

of pity, under the pretense that he was
executing the. mandate of the law speed

two malefactors, and have him put on the
culprit's garb and suffer further humilia-
tien by being shaved. Sheriff Cramer
knew that the defendent's attorneys were
acting in good faith and without violating
any breach of duty, he might have had
common 'decency enough to have given

when il was very evident that the evidence
was very slim, and we are led almost ire
sistably to the conclusion that popular
prejudice went great way towards secur'
ing his conviction.

Of the United States and state constitutions,
with regard to the right to bear arms. The
alderman said that the ordinance and the state
law on the subject were never meant to be
enforced, unless the offender were using or
threatening to use his weapons injuriously;
that permit can be obtained to carry con-
cealed weapons in proper cases. lie Of course
lodged the question and could not defend the
law on constitutional grounds. His argument
about permit was sumner. He ought to
know that there are no provisions contained
in the statute or ordinance giving the right to
grant permits for the carrying, concealed
weapons, and such permits are illegal, provided
the law is constitutional. The officials who
would undertake to give permit for such
purpose would simply act without authority.
But this may not be very much, for that is
done frequently. c.
